When the Lord Jesus Christ, the
Great Missionary from Heaven, gave
his commission to his disciples, ''gc
teach and PREACH" in this command
was the keynote of the gospel. The
branch of the christian church, calleil
Presbyterian, has ever recognized this
principle as at the foundation of her
work in spreading the knowledge OF
the truth. And never in the worlds
history has there been a better field to
illustrate this doctrine than in our own
broad land, which for the last one hun
dred years has been the principal field
of her labors.
1t is my object in this article to make
only brief statement of this mission
work of one branch of Christ's Church,
and in two or three articles that may
follow to give some Illustrations of the
work as to its growth and fruit.
The present financial standing of the
work may be seen from single state
ment. At the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church, held in Min
neapolis May 1886, there was asked for
Foreign Missions the sum of $3.50, 900,
and for Home Missions $3.50, 900. AS
the results of the year just closed,
there has been paid to Foreign Mis-
sions 1907, S53, and for Home Missions,
including Sl64, 623 for work among
the Freedmen. 1884, sos, making to-
tai of 81, 692, POS. This amount of
money has been faithfully distributed
through the labors of two thousand
missionaries.and teachers, and has we
trust added something to the good
work of building up and extending the
Kingdom of Christ in the world of
which we are part.

Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, has
signed the high license bill. The act
classities the liquor license according
to the nature of the community in
which the business is to be carried on,
instead of according to the volume of
sales which is the existing basis of
classification. The licenses are: $500
for cities of 80, and over; S400 for

Scarcity of Ores.

Salt Lake Tribune: Ore is coming
in so slow from the mines that the
smelling men are more anxious to
buy than for a year past. The smelt-
ing combination looks much as if it
had killed the goose that had laid for
them the golden egg in profits on
their business. Before the combine of
the reduction men, the mines were be-
ing worked either by the owners or
leasers, and there was such a hopeful
outlook that there was no difficulty in
leasing anything like a passable prop
erty to men who would find and take
out ore. When smelling charges were
raised, and the smelters only took
certain grades of ore, it discouraged
men who were operating their own
mines, and many stopped work. This
put a stop to most of the leasing and
now there is not one leaser to work
where there vas five to ten before,
and so ore has become scarce. Smelt-
ing men are sending agents into camps
to buy up ore where in the past the
ore came to them without the asking.

On Thursday night, says the Vir-
ginia Enterprise, the residence of a
Gold Hill miner named James, who
lives at No. 81 Bullion r~avine, was
entered by a masked man at about s
o'clock in the evening, and at the
point of a revolver compelled the wife
of Nh. James and a ~16-year-old daugh-
ter to open a trunk and pass over the
coin it contained, amounting to $8 so.
The ladies did not argue the matter
with him, nor did they try to show
him the error of his ways, but trem-
blingly obeyed. The man then made
his escape, seemingly satisfied that he
had tapped the bank. Mr.. James was
at work at the time in the Crown
Point mine, and the robber must have
been aware Of the fact, as otherwise he
would scarcely have dared to commit
such a robbery at that hour.

Denver never loses a trick. Already

Thirteenth anniversary of the admis-
sion OF Colorado as a State. Why the
thirteenth requires a celebration any
more than the fourteenth will, it is
hard to see, but they are going to

make the whole State roar; they will
bring a mighty crowd 10 Denver and
rob them gracefully, and send them
away grateful that they have been
robbed and all enthusiastic e Dem
yer hospitality, vim and gall. If any
of them there desire a town lot, or a
mine, or a cattle ranch, or any inter-
ests in an irrigating ditch, or a few
shares in a monster hotel, or a local
railroad, and the men of Denver ac-
commodate them, and anyway, they
will have a thousand newspapers and
a hundred thousand people all talking

Zionist Meeting.
The Wood River News-Miner tells
the following on a former well-known
resident Of Eureka:
A slanderous about Pete Can
AVIAN, of Bellevue, came to the ears
of a News-Miner reporter Thursday.
How the matter eve got out 1t IS I'M
possible to imagine. But as long as 1t
has become street talk, there is little
use in attempting to suppress it.
1t appears that Pete vent to hear
the songs and war-cry OF the Saliva
tionists a few evenings ago. He took
a front seat. One OF the members OF
the army got up to exhort, and spoke
something like this: We often hear,
during election, men say Il am for
this man. or l am for that man, ETC.,
but how seldom do w hear Il man say
1 am for the Lord"
The speaker eyed Pete very closely,
and paused to add effect to the re-
mark. The impressiveness Of the
scene was broken by Pete, who, think
ing he was individually meant, tapped
himself on the breast with his fore
finger and spoke out:
"I-I-dont know much-'er-
about the Lord; but Pm for Blaine"
Pete was excused from giving any
more testimony.
